Weather: Low stratus early followed by nimbostratus & scattered cumulonimbus through the afternoon. Rain was heavy at times.
Tasking:
- Checked data streams at SODAR trailer. Raw data at Lower Convergence appeared to have a short gap last night though battery voltage was nominal. 6m EC150 at that site was giving erroneous readings upon first check but seemed to self correct
- Started deep clean of Base Trailer, still a long way to go
- Picked up three more Deka DOMINATOR deep cycle batteries for station power from Shaff Implement Co in Urbana. If more are needed they can be ordered through them and picked up within a couple of days
The rain seems to have passed, tomorrow we will inspect the swale for standing and evidence of running water. It sounds like there will be multiple IOPs this weekend due to visiting students, regardless of conditions.
